“The Coast Guard hopes we can reunite this dog with his family as soon as possible,” said Lt. Kevin Cooper, command duty officer at Sector Honolulu. “We understand that it’s tough for everyone when a dog goes missing, so we’re asking for the public’s help to get him home.”

Anyone with information about the dog is asked to contact Coast Guard Station Honolulu at (808) 842-2980.
